What Games Are You Looking Forward To in 2019?

2019 is already shaping up to be an interesting year for games. Of course there are plenty of rumours — from long-awaited PS4 exclusives to a brand new console reveal — but for now, we're interested in the games that we already know are on the way in the coming year. Which games are you going to keep an eye on?

February

Somehow February 2019 has become the place to be if you didn't want to release alongside Red Dead Redemption 2. In this bumper month we will see Metro Exodus, DEAD OR ALIVE 6, Jump Force and Far Cry New Dawn arrive on the same day, and that's not even including Crackdown 3 over on the Xbox. The following week sees the release of Bioware's post-Mass Effect gamble, Anthem. The definitive Steins;Gate Elite arrives on PlayStation 4 in the same week, and DiRT Rally 2.0 is coming at the end of the month. Luckily most of this kicks off the day after Valentine's Day...

The Rest of 2019

What else do we know? Well in a year littered with long-awaited sequels, perhaps the longest wait for fans has been Shenmue III, which is supposed to land in August. The unusual action-RPG Biomutant should be making itself known in the fall, and Respawn's Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order is supposed to be out at some point in Q4.

A lot of unknowns...

Of course, that leaves us with a lot of games that we hope arrive in 2019, but there have been no announcements as of yet. Some have had 2019 waved about vaguely, others have had no release news at all. Expect a lot of these to make an appearance at E3 — unless of course they are a PlayStation exclusive, as Sony will not be attending the expo in any capacity this year...
